INSTITUTIONAL DENTIST SCIENTIST AWARD

该机构DSA计划共毕业于8个临床 学者此外，四名临床学者接受了关于个人 每日生活津贴/方案支助服务奖。四名由其他机制资助的临床学者， 也毕业了。其他10名毕业生已通过其他资助 源因此，我们的培训历史总共有26名毕业生。 目前十名活跃学生中有六名是在一起的 计划，证明了我们的承诺，结合证书/博士学位。 训练我们所有的DSA临床学者都完成了他们的 证书和博士学位计划，并已进入生产性职业生涯;没有 一个人已经通过退出程序或进入私人 实践 临床学者的定位是获得独立的 资金已经到位; 89%的资金已经到位。这些方案，包括临床和 毕业，适应他们的时间表，以确保高效和成功 通过方案的进展。由于其多样性和复杂性， 口腔疾病，培训的重点是有关的基本生物问题， 口腔健康和疾病，而不是一个单一的学科- 中心化的方案。基础科学家学院的组织， 牙科和医疗临床医生在这个培训计划已经允许我们 为牙科健康学生提供一系列机会， 疾病此外，化学传感系统、牙科和生物医学研究中心 一般的临床研究和生物材料培养了活跃的 口腔生物学研究生院（OBGF）参与临床 和科学教育的临床学者担任导师， 他们的研究。因为教师们从事多学科 合作，单独和通过研究中心和计划 项目，OBGF是多样化的，来自卫生部门的各个部门， 中心，并代表了一系列的调查专业知识和利益。 这种临床项目和多种研究机会的组合 提供一个充满活力和刺激的培训环境。因此，委员会认为， 为我们的学生设计的研究项目也有类似的广度 和范围。该计划的目标是提供一个程序， 培养高素质的临床学者，能够胜任他们的临床 学科和独立的科学家能够发起和维护 资助的研究项目。此外，该计划将提供 为每个候选人量身定制的教育经验，而 通过研讨会保持对口腔生物科学的关注， 课程，临床研究中心和合作研究活动。

This institutional DSA program has graduated a total of eight clinical scholars. In addition, four clinical scholars were trained on individual DSA/PSA awards. Four clinical scholars funded by other mechanisms have also graduated. Ten other graduates have been funded through other sources. Thus, our training history is a total of twenty-six graduates. Six of the present roster of ten active students are in combined programs, attesting to our commitment to combined certificate/Ph.D. training. All of our DSA clinical scholars have completed their certificate and Ph.D. programs and have entered productive careers; no one has defaulted either by leaving the program or by entering private practice. The clinical scholars who are positioned to obtain independent funding have done so; 89% are funded. The programs, both clinical and graduate, accommodate their schedules to ensure efficient and successful progress through the program. Because of the diversity and complexity of oral disease, training is focused on basic biological problems related to the oral cavity in health and disease rather than a single discipline- centered program. The organization of a faculty of basic scientists and dental and medical clinicians in this training program has permitted us to offer a range of opportunities for students of dental health and disease. In addition, research centers in chemosensory systems, dental and general clinical research and biomaterials have fostered the active participation of the Oral Biology Graduate Faculty (OBGF) in the clinical and scientific education of clinical scholars by serving as mentors for their research. Because the faculty are engaged in multidisciplinary collaborations, individually and through research centers and program projects, the OBGF is diverse, is drawn from all segments of the Health Center and represents a range of investigative expertise and interests. This mix of clinical programs and manifold research opportunities provides a dynamic and stimulating training environment. Consequently, the research projects devised for our students have had a similar breadth and scope. The objective of this program is to offer a program that produces highly qualified clinical scholars competent in their clinical disciplines and as independent scientists able to initiate and maintain funded research programs. In addition, the program will provide educational experiences that are tailored to each candidate, while maintaining a focus in the oral biological sciences through seminars, courses, clinical research centers and collaborative research activities.
